Is this good way to get my first property?
Hi!
I am wondering if my process for finding possible deals, so far, sounds good to others with more experience. I find tax delinquent properties in areas I am targeting (driving/internet). Then I plan to contact them about how I can help relieve them from the burden of all the delinquent taxes + cash, help them move on in their life. What I've noticed is that, on the tax assessor's website, the owner's names is sometimes different from the MLS. This does confuse me when it comes to who owes, if they do actually even owe. By doing this I've found 16-17 properties in the very specific areas I want to buy. I do understand that this isn't new or unique. I'm just curious to what the smart, helpful, experienced BiggerPockets community thinks about this as a way to get a good deal for me, especially starting out.
Thank you!
